Pull request description:

  This pull request removes the `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` dependency from the project.

  `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` is included for the `boost::to_lower` and `boost::to_upper` template functions.

  We can replace the calls to these functions with straightforward alternative implementations that use the C++ Standard Library, because the functions are called with `std::string` objects that use standard 7-bit ASCII characters as argument.

  The refactored implementation should work without the explicit `static_cast<unsigned char>` cast and `unsigned char` lambda return type. Both have been added defensively and to be explicit. Especially in case of the former, behaviour is undefined (potentially result in a crash) if the `std::toupper` argument is not an `unsigned char`.

  A potential alternative, maybe even preferred, implementation to address the `boost::to_lower` function call in `ParseNetwork(std::string)` could have been:

  ```c++
  if (net == "ipv4" || net == "IPv4") return NET_IPV4;
  if (net == "ipv6" || net == "IPv6") return NET_IPV6;
  ```
  This alternative implementation would however change the external behaviour of `ParseNetwork(std::string)`.

  This pull requests includes a unit test to validate the implementation of `ParseNetwork(std::string)`  prior and after the removal of the `case_conv.hpp` dependency.

  `boost/algorithm/string/case_conv.hpp` has been removed from the `EXPECTED_BOOST_INCLUDES` in `test/lint/lint-includes.sh` because it is no longer required.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

Build Status

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
